Urgent need to ringfence infections & keep Covid-19 at bay

As daily numbers continue to rise, authorities are hard at work to ringfence the infections and keep the virus at bay.

In the meantime, residents should stay vigilant and abide by Covid-19 rules when they’re out and about.

It may be inconvenient to adapt to ever-changing rules, but it is for the sake of everyone’s safety.
